— Anyone passing through the stoplight in Decatur on a regular basis have seen him there on the corner near the library and cafe. He's always waving to all who pass by. And it brightens his day when passers by wave to him in return.

Steven Hall is that man greeting everyone with a wave and big smile. And, in honor of his 70th birthday, Hall was treated to a special birthday celebration at the Gallery Cafe in Decatur. And for a gift, he was given his own bench -- a fitting gift for a man so devoted to greeting everyone from a sidewalk bench in Decatur.

Hall's three sisters, Michal Montgomery, Ellen Flores and Pat Weide helped him celebrate his birthday and posed with him on his new bench, giving him a kiss.
